It does seem like it could be an accessibility issue. What if you can't speak?
Ours has kind of the opposite problem - you select a floor via a touchscreen in the wall, which for sight-impaired folks seems fairly impossible to use.
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

But it's hip, it's hot, it's now. Clean interface, uncluttered, and all the new buzzwords.

Our wings are not tired.
The solution is clearly a lift attendant.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
::Googles to see what "lift attendant" means in the context of Twitter and/or GUI::

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Laura, everything old is new again?

I bet wheelchair users can't reach the touchscreens, either.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I work in a building with two towers (not THOSE two towers, although we do have our own version of Sauron). The one my office is in has three elevators, one of which has been out of commission for "modernization" for, oh, six months or so ... the workmen seem to have given up (or been tossed into Mount Doom). The other tower has completed its modernization; out of the eight elevators, we're doing well to have four operating and it has one of those touch screen things where you touch/press the display on the floor you want ... but it keeps taking me to the wrong floor, so now I have to check the display to make sure it's going to my floor and the other day, I pressed for the floor I wanted and it gave me a message that I wasn't authorized.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
note: enter only one-story buildings (not climbing stairs with a cane)

I'd opt for stairs if (1) my knees would let me and (2) if the security on the stairs only lets you in on the office floors and out on the ground floor.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'm making stairs plus cane work. Mostly, it involves holding the railing and moving deliberately. And a strong preference for elevators if I have to go more than one story.
Fire drills at work are -- interesting -- because I'm on the 9th floor.
